January began with a quick trip to Calgary. Danica’s Competitive Hip Hop Dance Team was invited to dance during the Mini Pop Kids concert. What a thrill to watch our granddaughter dance at the Jubilee Auditorium.
We also visited with Joey and his canine family.
February was a very wintery month everywhere. Ten inches of snow is not normal for our winters.
In March it was time to get away from home for a few days. We walked onto the Victoria ferry and our friends Marg and Paul picked us up at the other end.
At one point in the trip there were hundreds of gulls on the water. There must have been a school of fish for their dining pleasure.

In Victoria the Royal BC Museum always has fascinating exhibits. Ice Ages affected British Columbia animals, plants and terrain.
Totem poles, a pit house model and carvings convey aboriginal life in British Columbia. This exhibit refreshed our memories of our 2018 trip from Prince George to Haida Gwaii (posts #181 to #188).
On a bright sunny day we took a day trip to enjoy the vehicle.
Sasquatch Inn is always popular for a drive/ride and great food.
The mountains and ice falls were spectacular.
The town of Hope is famous for chain saw carvings.
In our park daffodils and crocuses with bees signal spring.
spectacular photo, that last one. The flowers even have their pollinators in them. WOW!
